The Math transfer progress report Question #4, below this line is still being written. The progress report is due Nov 30.
Yellow names indicate that a draft has been written by the highlighted person(s).
Green names indicate that a draft needs to be written by the highlighted person(s).
Pink indicates that no one has been assigned to write a draft.
Please read and edit the drafts that have been written so far. If you have minor changes (e.g. grammar), just make the change. If you have substantive changes, please either indicate them by adding colored text (and your name), or please discuss them with the original author and them make them.
The original author of each section is resonsible for editting the final draft (and deleting all colored text, etc.)
I have cut the document into multiple (linked) web pages to facilitate editting. I will sew it back together when we are done.
One last word of advice: save frequently, and keep a copy of what you just typed until it is successfully saved. This is because if two people are trying to edit at once, only one person's work can be saved. I recommend copying and pasting from WordPad or Notepad (but not Word, because the formatting gets messed up. Both WordPad and Notepad are under the Start > Programs > Accessories menu.
Findings
5) What have you learned from the program review and planning process that would inform future attempts to change and improve your program?
Being forced to produce an annual update to our program review has motivated our department to dust off its program review and reread it! Now we just need to use it more productively in planning our department agendas.
[21] Creating the position of Math Technology Lead will help LMC become a frontier technology college.
[22-27, 53, 58, 59, 60] Having a program review keeps everyone on track and the ball rolling.
When we wrote program objectives, we did not design measures of their effectiveness. (We noticed this while answering Question 2 of this progress report.) In future unit plans, we should include measures of effectiveness when we write program objectives. {EH}
Many of our objectives are in progress. We suggest that in the next program update, there be another question about objectives in progress. {EH}
This process also makes us all aware of what is going on in our program. {Poku}
